Omron XS5W-T422-JM2-K Industrial Ethernet Cable

The Omron XS5W-T422-JM2-K Industrial Ethernet Cable is engineered for Industrial Ethernet communication between automation devices equipped with M12 interfaces. This factory-assembled cable incorporates M12 Smartclick right-angle connectors on both ends, providing a secure and space-efficient connection for machinery, production systems, and industrial control equipment. With a Category 5e SF/UTP cable structure, a durable PVC outer jacket, and a 10-meter cable length, the cable supports dependable Ethernet communication across longer installation distances while maintaining compatibility with industrial networking standards.

Technical Description

The Omron XS5W-T422-JM2-K Industrial Ethernet Cable is intended for Ethernet-based communication between PLCs, industrial switches, distributed I/O modules, servo drives, operator interfaces, and intelligent field devices. The use of dual M12 Smartclick connectors provides a reliable mechanical connection while simplifying installation in equipment where conventional straight connectors would require additional installation space.

The Category 5e cable construction supports industrial communication protocols used in factory automation, while the SF/UTP shielding helps minimize electromagnetic interference commonly encountered around industrial motors, drives, switching equipment, and power distribution systems.
